Vehicle Tax Calculator for Pakistan
Buying a car carries advance tax once, at registration. Then it carries more every single year with the token, at roughly double if you are not on the Active Taxpayer List, for as long as the car is in your name.
Free, no sign-up. Every rate comes from the published FBR and provincial schedules.
These rates are pending final verification against the current Finance Act. Confirm with us before relying on them for a transaction.

Filer against non-filer
| What it applies to | Filer | Non-filer | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registration, section 231B | Rs. 10,000 | Rs. 30,000 | Rs. 20,000 |

This is an estimate based on the published salaried slab rates for the tax year selected. It is not tax advice. Your actual liability depends on allowances, tax credits, other sources of income and tax already withheld from you.
Worth knowing
- The registration figure is charged once, when the vehicle is first registered in your name or transferred to it.
- Provincial token fees are separate from the advance income tax shown here and are charged on top.
- Registering a car in a relative's name to dodge the non-filer rate creates a wealth-statement problem for both of you. It is not a plan.

Want the real number, not an estimate?
A calculator works from the figures you give it. Your actual position accounts for allowances, credits, other income and every rupee already withheld from you — which is frequently more than the tax you owe.
